Tolkien Anagram Puzzles

I thought it was time for yet ANOTHER Tolkien puzzle thread, and I thought I would make it an anagram-puzzle thread. Anagrams are sort of my favourite kind of puzzles, but first I'll explain the rules:

1. The person who gets the last anagram before him right gets to post the next one.
2. People are not allowed to "just" post anagrams, you need to have guessed the one before you right to obtain the right to post one yourself.
3. An anagram consist of one or multiple words that, when the order of the letters is switched, can turn into other words. See below for an example.
4. The anagrams are limited to the "usual" canon, which includes:
- The Hobbit
- The Lord of the Rings
- The Silmarillion
- The Children of Hurin
- The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (ah heck, why not? )

5. Please don't make the anagrams too long (not more than 4 or 5 words maximum)
6. If your anagram contains multiple words and people are not able to guess it after a couple of times, please hint the amount of words.

EXAMPLE:

"OK, jauntier Londoner, Hell!"

could turn into:

"John Ronald Reuel Tolkien"

So, I will start off with a fairly easy one:

"Geek in torpor"

Well, you sure are as hasty as two little hobbits I used to know... You spelled it wrong, but nevermind that, the answer is correct! I see you posted the next one already, and someone answered it. This is going in a right direction

I did not even notice that Devestator had misspelled it. At least he got all the letters, just not in the right order.
"As old Peter Hall used to say to me, 'They're all there Eddie, now you've just got to get them in the right order.'..." -MP-

Well here's my stab at it.

........................... missed a putt. ...............At a Dead & Co. show on a Mexican beach..........The real Boraxxe... wearing his "Get off my lawn!" face and his "I smoked my lawn" face.
This has to end. I do not play LOTRO because I want to gamble. I play LOTRO because I like the game.
Buying keys is not playing the game.Golfing Hobby yes....Golfing Hobby yes

I can see Ranger(s), Gondor, Rohan, Aragorn, but only one of them and then can't come up w/ anything for the lefover letters that makes sense. Must ponder more. Too early to ask for a clue, but how many words we're looking for might help, when the time for a clue comes.

Same problem here, I am always left with a couple letters. DON'T give a hint yet, though. I want to keep thinking, it takes my mind off of my chemistry test for a while every hour
